You can search much more efficiently and specifically with Google, this is a list of all the tips i know that can make your searching easier:

When you want to search a specific site, for example: blogspot.com, this is what you write in the search box: "whatever site:blogspot.com". Now you can change the "whatever" to anything you want to search and the URL after the "site:" to any site you want.

If you want to search a specific file format such as *.jpg, this is what you write in the search box: "whatever inurl:jpg", again changing the "whatever" to anything you want and the "jpg" after the "inurl:" to any file format you want. If you want to search more than one format just add more like this "inurl:jpg|gif|bmp".

If you want sites that include a "word" or "another word" you can write this in the search box: "one OR two"(keep the OR in capital letters), this will search "one" or "two".

If you want sites that include all the words you wrote, write this in the search box: "allintitle: these are some words", Google will search only sites that include the full sentence "these are some words".
